Stitch & Glue Kayak | New Concept Model

  • I challenged myself to design a wooden kayak. This is a 'proof' model for my custom stitch & glue kayak so that I could test the geometry and think through the fabrication. I have always felt drawn to cedar strip canoes and kayaks but they tend to be a bit busy visually and can be fairly complicated to get right. Stitch and glue kayaks, on the other hand, can look too simplistic, but they fairly straightforward to build. I hoped to balance the ease of fabrication with the beauty of cedar strip construction.

      Brian Oltrogge I would not have thought of the pre-cut strips because I would be too worried about the tolerances working out at full-size, but I bet it will work great. It is a cool innovation.

      Wow, high praise coming from you Nick! I've loved your build series and hope to eventually build one myself. I do think there is something to this approach that Brian has done, especially if he can figure out an effective way to do the stitch and glue method without needing to do any stitching. It would make for a beautiful craft.

    • @Grunblau
      @Grunblau  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Thanks! This was the last video that got meaningful views for my channel…. Shortly after, CZcams also broke out in a rash of Kayaks and Canoes from various YT makers.
      I bought all of the wood and cut the full scale buck. I still need to buy about $450 worth of epoxy and fiberglass.
      Going from a self supporting channel where I could budget for tools and materials to barely able to document my own projects I pay for out of my own pocket made it so I had to reprioritize my projects based on what I could actually afford from time and money.
      I still intend to do the full size version although I used the epoxy and fiberglass for the Koi Pond that got 18K views. I am considering producing a limited run of Kayak kits to help pay for the full scale version.
      I don’t agree with the changes CZcams has made that punishes longer format content from older channels. I think they have gone overboard with commercials and I would rather not do videos for products if I can help it. It is an unfortunate situation that will hopefully resolve itself soon as I know many CZcamsrs are struggling to continue their channel.
      I am making content whether anyone will ever see it or not. I am also focusing on developing a prefab building, while balancing a job and taking on uninteresting fabrication work to pay the bills.
      Sorry for being so long…
